70, fit, BMI 21, tummy tuck & past lipo, I don't know if I should have muscle tightening? (Photos)

May 20, 2023
Asked By:Firstkitty in Mountain View, California

My doctor says my tummy tuck surgery will be challenging due to scar tissue from 2 past liposuctions done 20 years ago, that I may not get as smooth or as tight a result. I am 70 years old, no pregnancies, fit, BMI 21. I don't know if I should have muscle tightening. Have not read anything about past lipo presenting problems and would like to understand this better. Am I not a good candidate? Don't PS's deal with this all the time? Pics are w/tummy pulled in & tummy relaxed.
